Component names all mixed up after editing one entry

[Zegnåt]

I have heard about this before but was never able to get it to happen on my own local copy. Are you able to get the problem to come up when you want it to, polyfragmented? Any tips on how to reproduce this?

I believe it had something to do with the JavaScript messing up and/or the server not being sure what name goes with what component form when the data arrives from the browser.

I can’t even remind myself if GS is creating backups of components during save.

It does, and after you save it will offer you to undo. Just like it does on other site-changing actions.
